Imaginative Writing: Introduction

"All writing is imaginative." (Burroway, xxii)

I believe that this is the very thing we must remember as we embark on this journey through Creative Writing 3130.  I have never taken a writing class before, yet I decided to be a Writing and Linguistics minor on a whim.  I, like other first-time writers in this class, must remember to use my imagination at all times when I am trying to compose something, whether it is a poem, story, or essay.  I will become the writer I wish to be if I just keep that simple statement in mind.
